Didn't see the game so can't comment on the overall performance but saw the goals.
Great pass from Milner for bobbys first. Would benteke have made that run? No chance. Which is why Bobby needs to start upfront every single game until we bring a proper forward in.
Their equaliser was just a shambles. Yet again we can't defend a cross or a lump into the box.
Their second was a shambles too. I've no idea why nobody tracked Naismith and allowed him to just run into our box and strike on goal. Maybe being harsh on mignolet because it was a good hit, but I think he could have perhaps saved that too.
Their third, the penalty, was just atrocious defending from Moreno. He got on the wrong side of Naismith and then dived in and hacked him in the box not once but twice! What on earth was he doing.
Great finish from hendo for the second. He needs to push on in advanced areas more often and start chipping in with goals.
Fantastic move for the third too. Completely opened them up with three or four simple passes. Nothing complicated just basic football. Easy isn't it lads?
?
Awful defending from them for our fourth but a great calm finish from Milner who when I saw him running through on goal I wasn't actually confident he would slot it. How wrong I was. A great finish.
Their fourth was yet again awful defending. Can't handle long balls and then mignolet is beaten by a low hard drive from 20-25 yards.
Our winner was a shambles from them with the ball bouncing around in their box until Lallana just hit and hoped and luckily it bounced in the corner of the goal.
It looked to me like we got away with it. If Norwich weren't so sh*t defending then we would have lost 4-1 because of how sh*t we are at defending!
Great 3 points which was much needed but so many warning signs again. We need to improve and sharpish.
